Visiting Paris’ Little Sister

admin — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:20:00 +0000

Jean-Victor, Marie, their mom, and I drove up to Bordeaux, another major city like Paris, and it’s located two hours north from Bayonne. Bordeaux is a smaller version of Paris. The architecture is the same. However, there are fewer musuems than Paris and Bordeaux is more for business like Atlanta. L’?cole des Beaux-Arts, the most prestigious art school in the world and many well known artists including Renoir and Monet attended this school, is located in Bordeaux. Of course I saw the building and thought, “hmmmm…I should apply there so that I can be in France!” Of course I’m joking,Replica Chanel, this school would be WAY TOOOOO hard for me to be accepted. LOL. I also saw the Grand Thé?tre, a well known theater in France. One of the MAJOR difference between Bordeaux and Paris is that there is NOBODY in Bordeaux. In other words, we do not see anybody walking outside unlike Paris where we see millions of people on the sidewalks. Why? It’s too hot to walk outside! Jean-Victor, Marie, and I just took a stroll around the city and survived through the hot weather.

Where did Washington D.C. come from

,Replica Chanel

When I first stepped on a small plantation, I immediately noticed a building that looked very familiar. It had ionic columns and a triangular pediment. The whole front reminded me of another famous building in United States, the White House. The White House was inspired by this building, and the White House is a neoclassical style, a style that revives from the Ancient Greek and Roman and the Renaissance. However, there was a nearly hemispherical dome, but slightly pointed, on this building. Thus, this building reminded me more of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. Thomas Jefferson’s architectural design was Palladian, a type of neoclassical style. The designer of the building, Villa Rotunda, was Andrea Palladio. Palladio was one of the most influential architect in the architecture history. Evidently, Monticello and many of the buildings in Washington D.C. were inspired by Palladio. The Villa Rotunda was located on the mainland, near Venice, and it was located in a slightly isolated area on a hill with a magnificent scenic view of gardens and green hills in all direction. It’s a suburban palace currently owned by Mario di Valmarana for recreated, parties, natural retreat and residential living. This building is made of brick, stucco, and wood, and with all these material combined, it’s called marmorino white. When I walked around the building, I noticed that every side is the same. This defines that this building is biaxially symmetrical. In other words, it’s radially symmetrical. This building is obviously from the Renaissance era as it has ionic columns and classical temple style staircases. It has mathematical precision and proportions, circles and squares, which is a trait of classicism. Palladio began sketching out ideas in 1540’s, and the construction began in 1566. The interior is magnificent as it has beautiful stuccos on the ceilings and Enlightenment Age look furniture. The furniture were gold with beautiful fabrics. The building as a whole was beautiful and was definitely an inspiration for many future buildings.

Palladio created numerous buildings throughout his life. He also created Villa Emo, a country home for the Emo family. It was built in 16th century. Like other Palladio’s architecture, this building is very simple, geometrical and rational. There are columns along with a pediment resting on the top of the columns at the front of the building. There is a ramp instead of stairway leading up to the porch. The wings on both sides, have rounded arcades. This shows a very geometrical order as the arcades have a half circle resting on top of the columns. This also shows rhythm in this architectural design. Geometry and rhythm is one of Palladio’s goals in his architectural design.

French people don’t eat with their hands

Tonight, I had pizza for dinner and I remembered that the French do not eat pizza with their hands like us, the Americans. They always eat the pizza with a fork and a knife!
Also, in France, if we don’t finish our meal, we can’,Replica Chanel;t ask to take the left over home…it’s rude!

PS: found my original post about the Gut Brain.

Musicians can learn to perform with their whole body, that is to follow the flow of the music with their mind, using the brain, ears, body and their “gut”. Eventually we can learn to LIVE with our whole body – if we are willing to do the training: that is the whole premise of Zen training. The main obstacle is our own ego/brain that can get in the way by jealously guarding the self it has created. There is nothing to fear but fear itself, and there is nothing separating us from life itself but our own small selves…

Arroyo’s jet prevents plane running low on fuel f

admin — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:05:00 +0000

This is what happens when everybody is programmed to bow to the emperor all the time:

By Nikko Dizon

MANILA–Which should be given priority on the runway? A Lear jet taking off with President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on board or an incoming long haul Airbus 340 ferrying 231 passengers that is running low on fuel?

This was the question posed by an official of the Airline Operators Council (AOC) after a Gulf Air flight from Bahrain was reportedly denied landing at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) because Arroyo was using the runway for her flight to Davao City on Wednesday to stand as a wedding sponsor.

The AOC is also complaining about long queues at the departure immigration counters and a defective baggage facility that have delayed outbound flights.

“Even if the President’s plane was already taxiing but the pilot (of the other aircraft) declared he was low on fuel, the latter should have been allowed to land,” Leoncio Nakpil,replica PRADA, AOC chairman and Gulf Air security chief in Manila, told reporters.

It is, by all intents and purposes, already considered a “distress call” for an emergency landing, Nakpil said.

Nakpil said the Air Transportation Office (ATO) should explain why flight GF 154 was not allowed to land. It was also told that it was sixth in line for landing. (The Philippine Daily Inquirer tried but failed to reach ATO chief, Nilo Jatico, for comment on Sunday.

The pilot then decided to divert Flight GF 154 to the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) at Clark Field in Pampanga. At this point, Nakpil said, GF 154 technically became a “missing plane” for 15 minutes,Fendi handbags, the time wherein the aircraft was repositioning for landing at the DMIA.

“I thought it was only delayed because of the presidential movement, until [retired] Gen. [Ange]) Atutubo [airport security chief] called me up asking where GF 154 was,Replica Chanel,” Nakpil said.

Soon after, Nakpil said, Gulf Air Manila received an “operations flash” from its headquarters in Bahrain that GF 154 had “diverted to the DMIA due to a presidential movement.” (An aircraft is equipped with a device that sends a signal to its headquarters on its location, Nakpil explained.)

“There was confusion. Nobody told us that the aircraft had diverted to Clark. Not even the MIAA (Manila International Airport Authority) knew the flight was diverted,” Nakpil said.

“It was tantamount to endangering the lives of all the passengers and crew. What if the plane lost fuel and crashed?” an irate Nakpil said.

“The pilot said the air traffic controller was actually very accommodating. But somewhere, somehow, his request was suddenly denied supposedly because the runway was closed for President Arroyo’s flight,” Nakpil said.

Arroyo left Wednesday afternoon on board the Lear jet for Davao to stand as one of the principal sponsors in the wedding of the son of House Majority Leader Prospero Nograles.

Landing at the DMIA for refueling and going back to the NAIA entailed Gulf Air having to file a new flight plan and also pay for landing fees, among other things to be done.

For protocol and security reasons, the NAIA runways are closed when there the President is arriving or leaving by air.

But Nakpil stressed that international aviation rules dictate that regardless of whether there is a VIP movement, emergency situations are also given priority.

“An aircraft running low on fuel is considered an emergency situation,” he said.

The airport runway is under the ATO’s jurisdiction.

Nevertheless, an MIAA official said the airport authority was investigating the incident.

Nakpil said that ideally, the presidential flight should have given way to the distressed aircraft.
